Wanted By The Law

tabs · 06-28-2016, 10:26 AM

Just call me Baby Face Tabs, Machine Gun Tabs or Pretty Boy Tabs. Come and get me copper, I 'm on top of the world Ma!

Last week I got a couple of calls from NY that said that it was urgent to give a call back because I had 5 Federal criminal allegations pending against me. The last one ended if you dont call well good luck. I ignored them.

On Monday as I was pitter patterning on this Board I got a call from a Clark County Sheriffs Deputy by the name of Michael Fox who said I had two warrants for failure to appear before a Federal Grand Jury on June second. He gave me the case numbers his phone number etc. Say what? Why wasn't I told I needed to appear? Lets put it to u this way anytime anyone says warrants I take it seriously. Finally I said how do I know your not a scammer anybody can claim to be a Sheriff Deputy on the phone. Well sir I am only trying to help you out. Well before I do anything I am going to verify this with the Sheriffs Department to see if this is legit. Click. So I did call the Sheriffs Department and it is a scam...as a matter of fact someone in the Sheriffs office got a call from the same Deputy Michael Fox this morning, and the phone number is a throw away cell.

Well shucks I guess I aint wanted by anybody an I aint no Baby Face Tabs, Machine Gun Tabs nor Pretty Boy Tabs neither. Just a mark to be taken for everything that they could get.Which in my case was nothing.

So the upshot of this is LE is going to notify the media for people to beware of this scam.

I had a call from some low life a-hole claiming I had outstanding warrants. Same BS I had to send them money or they were going to come arrest me. I told him to bring a big swat team and bring it on. Then I speculated about his mother not being married and that she was a whore and then I called him some names and the jerk hung up on me.

That was a few months ago. So far no swat team.

I get two or three calls a year and always tell the caller I have the cash but are currently unable to drive to get money orders or anything similar so please come by to get the money. I give them the address just up the street of my neighbor who is a San Diego police Lt. but so far he has had no visitors?

Now for a real cops and robbers story. In May 4 black guys go into the Rolex Store in Caesars Palace. Smack the armed security guy in the nose with a Gun when he is down and out they keep on kicking him. He is still in the hospital. Smash a case grab up all the Rolex's putting them into their shirts and run out of Caesars dropping Rolex's as they go. They got 1.7m in Rolex's.

A couple of weeks ago the same crew was spotted in a store in LA. For some reason they didn't rob the place. This time they had open back packs with them.

So there is a smash and grab crew that is rather sloppy operating in the Western US. These guys arent from LA or LV and the watches are probably headed for China or Mexico where they can get lost. If serviced they can be traced because of the serial numbers.

I play along.

First I try to determine if they have any of my information or just called a random phone number. If they know my name, I tell them they have the wrong number, this is Steve Smith. (Try to get them to discard what they believe is incorrect information.)

Second, I try to find out about them. I tell them that even though I'm Steve Smith, I still have outstanding warrants and need to know what to do. I ask them how to make payment. I take notes. I tell them that whatever form of payment they request won't work. Will they take a personal check? Who do I make it out to? Where do I mail it?

Finally, I put the fear of God into them. I thank them for helping, and tell them that I am actually an FBI agent and that they have been on the line long enough for me to get a trace on their phone number and activate the GPS to get their physical location. If they laugh, I know they aren't in the U.S.. If they are, they usually hang up and never call back.

And I thought I was special today when I got a email from myself telling me to open the attachment at once.

I got a call from "Geek Support" a few months ago. I kept the guy on the phone for a good hour. I had him describe the Windows logo for me. I asked him what shape the task bar was. I asked lots of really stupid questions. When he asked for my IP address, I gave him the IP address for FBI.gov. He tried to do a remote logon for 20 minutes. I only hope someone was watching their logs...

In phx/scottsdale there has been a smash and grab crew of a few heavy set black females. They hit the Ulta's and aren't afraid to knock over the skinny girls on the way out.

Last year, I got a call from an "attorney" at the California Attorney General's office. He wanted to discuss a "serious" matter with me. I hung up on him without saying a word. He calls me right back. I laughed at him and hung up again. He calls back. This time, I asked him his name, and googled it while he waited. Turns out, he really was an attorney and they had decided to ride my a$$ about my company website privacy policy. It was good for a laugh for both of us, and I narrowly averted some kind of BS California fine.

I once got a call from CA State Board Of Equalization..I bought a couple of spoons in Oz land...one of other CA buyers bought a spoon for 350 and was getting stuck for a 3000 sales tax bill for the whole shipment from oz.

"Account services calling. There is something wrong with your account. It may be temporarily suspended while this issue is resolved. Please call back immediately with your account numbers handy. Thank you and have a wonderful day."

Bank and CC knew nothing.

Bank and CC did not seek any other information or follow-up, as apparently they were disinterested in federal Financial/FCC fraud.

Seems like it would save these jewelry establishments a lot of aggravation if they'd just use Lexan instead of glass. Or, knowing how easily Lexan gets scratched, at least back the glass with Lexan.

I know Lexan costs a lot more, but I bet they could make up their ROI fairly quick if they could negotiate for and get lower insurance rates.

I ask them which warrant is it, the one for attempted murder, felony assault, or jaywalking.
